I believe that this is the earliest screenplay draft for the film, Francis Ford Coppola turned this screenplay down in 1978. The Godfather: Part III, was not released until 1990, after many more Screenplays. This script has the original gray Paramount Pictures production cover. It has all white pages inside and it is 156 pages long. Please view all of the pictures provided above.
It is in very good overall condition. Paramount Picture's West Coast office made its own attempts. In June, 1977, Michael Eisner, then head of the studio, proposed a plot for "Godfather III" involving a new Mafia family's offers to aid in a CIA assassination attempt in return for drug-trafficking support. Eisner's regime also solicited screenplays --all of them focused on the next generation of the Corleone family. Alexander Jacobs was signed by Michael Eisner in October 1977 to write a sequel without the involvement of Francis Ford Coppola; the film was set in the present day, 25 years after the second movie, and focused on Tony Corleone, the son of Michael Corleone.
He has a power struggle with his cousin Tomasso. In a 1978 screenplay by the late Alexander Jacobs (co-writer of "The French Connection II"), Michael's son, Anthony, tries to legitimize the empire, but his cousin embroils the family in renewed family warfare and a stock fraud scheme. That same year, Puzo--author of the novel that inspired the series, and Coppola's co-writer on all three--wrote a 53-page treatment in which the CIA recruits Michael's son to assassinate a Latin-American leader, while Michael, posing as a mentally ill recluse, actually runs the family business behind the scenes. While struggling under contract to Paramount to write a Godfather III that would persuade Francis Ford Coppola to come back to the project. Coppola decided not to direct a Godfather III at that time.Soon after the relatively young Alexander Jacobs died. Specializes in rare and collectible movie scripts.

Every script that we own was hand-picked one at a time over the many years of which we have been collecting.A lot of people, new to collecting, are confused about the word Original. " In terms of movie scripts, the term "Original means that it was used by the production company in the early stages of production or that it was issued out to the cast and crew members during filming, and used at the time of production. Any scripts printed or used in any fashion after filming has completed are known as either a reproduction or a post-production script. These two types of scripts are much less valuable and desirable.
All of our scripts are Original. An original movie script has a lot of character in the item itself and every one of them is different in some way or another. There is usually only one script given to each crew member during production, however, sometimes they do get more than one. This makes original movie scripts very desirable because of how scarce they are.
Any changes made to the screenplay during production are known as revisions and these revision pages are inserted into that one script that was issued out to them. For example, if we are talking about a low-budget film with a small cast and only a few crew members, there are actually only a small number of scripts in existence around the world for that film. This aspect of collecting makes it fun but also difficult because there may be a certain writer or director that you love to collect and there may only be a handful of movie scripts that still exist from that specific film that you are looking for.
